"Perhaps His Royal Highness King Ying has no choice but to do it. There are too many people coming from the other side."
Eunuch Cao glanced at His Majesty, who was on fire, and defended Xiao Xu in a low voice. It is not a wise move to care about this at this time, but it is clear that His Majesty has lost its priorities. As the oldest old man beside His Majesty, for His Majesty's sake Well, at such a time, he can only remind a few words, knowing that he can't do it, and doing it.
"Cao Zhi, why are you standing on that villain's side?" Emperor Xixuan aimed the cannon fire at him, squinting, "Could it be that you were bought by him?"
Eunuch Cao felt a chill in his heart, and immediately knelt down, "Your Majesty, this old servant has absolutely no heart for you, this old servant can swear, and the world can learn from it!"
After living together for decades, he naturally knew what kind of temper Cao Zhi was, and Emperor Xixuan waved his hand to get him up with an ugly expression on his face, "It's fine if you don't."
Eunuch Cao stood up slowly with a trembling body, and sighed in his heart. Since His Majesty fell ill some time ago, his temper has become more and more irritable, as if there is always a nameless fire in his heart, and there is nowhere to vent similar.
Emperor Xixuan sat down angrily, and his eyes fell on the news from the spies again, which said that Xiao Xu had recruited people privately. In this crisis, he could understand Xiao Xu's actions, but he did not think of this son. To have such a powerful influence, this is the real reason for his anger.
If the Three Kingdoms encirclement is settled, Xiao Xu's power will not be underestimated.
No, he had to think of a back-up move.
Emperor Xixuan soon fell into deep thought. Eunuch Cao, who was beside him, was relieved to see him quiet down, and immediately let someone come in to clean it up, but when he looked back and saw the sullenness on Emperor Xixuan's face, he couldn't help but feel cold, Your Majesty. What is this thinking
The change in the palace also spread to Xiao Hou's ears.
At this time, he was playing with the exquisite lock with his fingers, and the bright color on it had become a little darker, and it could be seen that its owner often stroked it.
"Royal father is really a contradictory person. While wanting his brother to help protect the country, he is guarding and jealous of him. This king is tired for him."
In the shallow smile, there is contempt for this father.
Without a generous measure, it is difficult to hold the country firmly.
The emperor himself is in the highest position of the imperial court, issuing orders to select talents and appointing talents, which is equivalent to hiding behind the scenes, and the ministers who help him are the ones who face the people directly. Of course the common people prefer those who have meritorious deeds more than emperors.
Of course, there is more reverence for emperors than officials.
He thought that his father had already gotten used to this pattern, but he didn't expect—
Thinking of this, he stopped laughing because he thought of his grandfather's family. Wasn't it because the emperor played tricks and pulled him off his horse because of his high power
You are unpredictable!
"Why should the lord be troubled by such a person, it's not worth it!" Lin Jiangdong stood in front of him and mentioned that Emperor Xixuan also looked down on him. Such a person is not worthy of being the king of a country at all.
"Sir is right." Xiao Hou nodded, "How is the palace?"
Lin Jiangdong knew what he was asking, and raised his brows slightly, revealing a schadenfreude smile, "I heard that the man in the palace was afraid that His Majesty would suddenly die, and the battle situation was so chaotic. It eased and kept dragging on, but because of this, His Majesty's temper has become more and more irritable recently, and he is often angry with civil and military officials, which makes them dare not speak much."
"If things go on like this, the royal father will soon lose the trust of hundreds of officials. At a critical juncture in the country, he didn't take on the big responsibility, but he blamed the officials blindly. I really don't know where his scheming has gone for so many years? The embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed in the ant's nest, and at that stage, there will not be so many people on his side."
All this was his own fault, no one could blame others, Xiao Hou lightly pursed his lips, then remembered something and asked, "Have you received it?"
Lin Jiangdong nodded immediately, he just wanted to report this matter to the prince, "I went to the house in an hour, but—"
Before the emperor went to the battlefield, he wrote a letter and asked him to help take care of his mother-in-law and his father-in-law. Xiao Hou agreed without thinking. After counting the days, the carriage should arrive, but when he saw Lin Jiangdong The appearance of hesitating to speak, suddenly raised a bad premonition in his heart, this is the first time that the emperor has asked him for help so earnestly, so don't make any mistakes.
"Sir, speak straight, don't hesitate."
Lin Jiangdong couldn't hide it, and said directly, "Mrs. Chu has already arrived, but Master Chu has run away halfway, and no trace has been found yet."
At first, Xiao Xu wanted to send the two back to Liancheng, but after sending them out, he felt that Liancheng was not stable, so he temporarily changed his mind to send a letter to Xiao Hou and asked him to take care of it, but it didn’t take long for the letter to spread, and Mr. is gone.
Xiao Hou couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth. He had long heard that Mr. Chu was mentally like a child. He didn't expect to come here at this time. It was really confusing, but if he didn't find him as soon as possible, I was afraid that the emperor and his The little princess was worried on the front line.
He can't just sit back and ignore it. Even if people don't get lost after they are transferred to him, he will let them and the couple have no worries, "Sir, send a secret detective to find out the whereabouts of Master Chu, don't let him have any surprises."
Lin Jiangdong was very surprised to see that his lord actually used a secret agent. It was a force that could not be used as a last resort. know."
My lord, this is the love house and Wu!
After Lin Jiangdong picked up a few more important things to talk about, Xiao Hou let him go down to work.
The room returned to silence, Xiao Hou stood up, and the Linglong lock in his hand made a crisp sound with his movements. Every time the little rogue came to him, he could hear this sound from a distance, but unfortunately, the ringing was still there. , but the man has disappeared.
Now, he can only rely on this voice and imagine that she is still by his side.
Sometimes, when you lose, you know more precious than when you have it.
He touched the position of his chest, and the wound that day was basically healed, but the wound in his heart would never be scarred.
He unconsciously touched the Linglong lock, because he had been holding it in the palm of his hand, and it was stained with his body temperature.
"This vine, two people can't survive, but one person can." She looked at him tenderly.
Little rascal, how could you understand
You are the vine that keeps me alive.
Without you, how can I live alone
He slowly tightened his strength and wrapped the chain into his palm, as if he was holding her hand that day.
Go slowly and remember to wait for me!
Wait until I get my revenge!
